Boot Sequence Analysis for Breenix

Analyze and optimize the kernel boot process from bootloader to kernel ready.

Purpose

Understanding the boot sequence is critical for debugging initialization issues, optimizing boot time, and ensuring proper subsystem ordering. This skill provides tools for analyzing boot logs, verifying checkpoint progression, and identifying boot failures.

When to Use

• Boot failures: Kernel hangs or crashes during initialization
• Initialization order issues: Subsystems initialized in wrong order
• Boot time optimization: Reducing time from bootloader to ready
• Checkpoint verification: Confirming all subsystems initialize correctly
• Boot regression analysis: New code breaks boot sequence
• Understanding boot flow: Learning how kernel initialization works
